Your diverse perspectives and expertise will be instrumental in navigating the challenges and opportunities ahead.
“The functions of the Board are outlined under sections 31 & 32 of the Act establishing the Fund.
“As Board members, you are all aware that the Fund plays a key role in ensuring the welfare and protection of Nigerian workers by providing financial support and assistance in times of need in line with the provisions of the Employees’ Compensation Act. Therefore, your commitment to transparency, accountability, and ethical decision-making is paramount.
